Every once in a while someone will make eye contact and smile. Sometimes... rarely....it's genuine.
Sometimes I see a smile but the pain shows in their eyes. Genuine feeling pokes through the happy mask, giving up the facade.
I hear hearts racing , hearts breaking, hearts leaping and occasionally dancing for joy.
Minds swirling, unable to complete one thought at a time. Eyes darting. Fingers texting. Distraction.
Noise of a world meant to keep our souls from finding peace.
It takes a moment.
A deep breath...
or two... or three...
a silent prayer from one heart... from one soul... to the creator.
Lord... be with me today... guide my steps... may I be your hands and feet... use me God. Bless and keep them safe. Protect them.
Open eyes and smile.... from the soul... a knowing glance between strangers...
a silent thank you... from a hurting soul...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It doesn't take much to lift the spirits of someone who is hurting... just a desire and a prayer to make a difference.
